Are we supposed to really believe that BP... can get this problem fixed? August??? I'll bet if ALL oil drilling etc. was required to stop until this leak was fixed, it would be fixed in 24 hours.

I am in agreement with you xzaz2 but until we completely replace the use of fossil fuel, we should use EPA registered Green products that will lower the usage by improving gas mileage and lowering emissions. Check out this YouTube video /Bring2Help2#p/a

LOL

You guys are simply brilliant. Sure better than the chemical solutions they are using now. I'd like to see the test done with salt water and crude plus salt water and whatever that orange colored stuff is that is the byproduct of the chems they spray on the crude.

They can have all of my lawn clippings if it'll help!!!

Modern Cooking?

LOL @ hicks 1/2 pound of hay to clean up 2 tablespoons of oil...

[deomartinez77]

Somebody has to get this to Keith Olberman at MSNBC he or Rachel Maddow would run with this and they would get the attention of somebody who could fund it.

the amount of hay would be insane! but if it works lets get all those oil farmers to start farming the hay we need. Shutting down all drilling sounds like the perfect plan! So 1/4 pound of hay to what? 1 cup of oil?

[GQPublic]

Sheep's wool is far more absorbent and should be considered if they would consider throwin' and trollin' hay.

too bad theres no way to tell bp of this, they won't listen

@Bring2Help2 EPA green program (ethanol) is a fraud & is increasing food costs. The Øbowmao EPA will ony raise taxes & further destroy the U.S. economy. This leak is bad but maybe if Ø & Emanuel hadn't taken $ from them & OVER relaxed safety standards we wouldn't be here. We need an ALL & EVERYTHING approach & stop this BS over "green tech". See Germany DISMANTLING windpower....France has nukes. & China is STILL drilling in the Gulf of Mex.

that looks delicious!

if ya'll had bothered to do any research you'd know they are already using this type of solution - among others - to clean up the spill. They have these things called "booms" which are just hair, fur in a netted material (discarded pantyhose mostly) floating on the water. People are donating their clipped hair and animal groomers are collecting their clippings as well. Hair works better than vegetable matter because it doesn't degrade in the water. Hay and grass does.

BP would not allow this because they would be losing lots of oil on the hay, or lets call un-recoverable oil, especially if it got burned in massive piles. As it sits, BP wants to try and recover all that money floating in the gulf. Personally, I like this idea though, and I think there should be lots of volunteers to go down and do it. If I had the equipment, I would help out for sure.
